I thought you can't have lipo of the abdomen and a TT at the same time. Is it more risky?
Answer: Liposuction and tummy tucks Aggressive liposuction can be performed throughout the back and flanks at the same time of a tummy tuck. Liposuction can also be performed to the abdominoplasty flap however there are several different types of tummy tucks, so it depends on the type of tummy tuck and the expertice of the surgeon. devastating complications can result if the tummy tuck flap is "beaten up" by the liposuction. When in doubt it is better to proceed with caution even if it means a secondary session of liposuction is needed later in order to get the best result.

Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty VS Tt and lipo to back area Lipoabdominoplasty is a described technique used for patients who’s abdominal muscle is pretty tight and will not need much or any muscle repair (flat abdomen) so the undermining will be very limited (small tunnel) so liposuction to the front flap will be safe. Through my practice (15 years passionated for Tummy Tucks)I have ONLY found ONE patient (body builder) who hasn’t need a muscle repair. I want to achieve always a flat abdomen and smaller waist, so I am pretty aggressive with muscle repair so in my hands Lipoabdominoplasty never works. So if you are one of those with great abdominal wall you are candidate. If you are protruding (even a bit) it is better to focus on the muscle repair and NOT on removing the fat. Be encouraged Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. Liposuction of the abdomen and flanks is often done in combination with tummy tuck. This will give the patient a more aesthetically pleasing silhouette. I would consult with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures together all the time and has good results. Good luck!Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
